About Wood County Society
Our Passion to Serve
Brandon Gress, M.A, Executive Director
For over 65 years, Wood County Society has had the unique ability to provide hope, compassion, inclusion, and accessibility through many different programs and resources. It is my aspiration to continue to build upon our mission throughout the Mid-Ohio Valley Region so that you can have access to important resources that will impact you and your family today, tomorrow, and in the future.
It is imperative that as a community that we continue to commit ourselves not only as an organization but as individuals to meet the needs of the community in which we humbly and proudly serve.
That is my commitment to you – to rise up through grassroots movements to continue to build firm foundations for all individuals to explore, and to provide unique opportunities for you and your loved ones to live your best life.
Hope is not a one-man-band – we must stand together, inspire each other and provide for one another. Most importantly – persevere with determination that we are united to ensure all individuals are recognized for their abilities!
Let us take this journey together; because together we can build a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive community!
